The three-point win improved Fenerbahce’s record to 13-5 and 39 points, just enough to slide into the third position in the table, leaving Arkas behind on 13-5 and 38. On Saturday, Arkas battled it out against fifth-placed Galatasaray HDI Sigorta Istanbul to claim a sweet home victory with a 27-point match high (including four blocks and an ace) from Canadian outside Nick Hoag. However, that win came after a five-set duel, 3-2 (19-25, 27-25, 25-20, 19-25, 15-11), not enough for Arkas to hold on to their spot among the top three in the standings.
